05/30/2006 Jason NYC (Avg: 4.23 Review) - This one was hard for us to find. We were using Jessie Armacost's guide book (excellent btw) and it said that this spot was a marked site, but we never found the yellow stone for it. I don't believe it has one, but perhaps it once did. Anyway, the first time we tried to dive it we found ourselves parked in an empty lot/field off the main road about 50 yards from the water. We had to walk down a dirt road next to private homes that had signs claiming they were private property on the water's edge. We weren't sure if this was the entrance, so we didn't try it the first time. Also, boats were "parked" in the water (nobody around though) and we just weren't sure about entering here. But just down the road from Pasa Bon Pizza, the entrance is on the street along the main water front. We confirmed that we were in the right spot with the Buddy Dive staff and went back another day. Pretty much the same as all the other southern sites, as we swam over sand to drop off in 25 fsw then to a gradual slope to 100 fsw+ to the bottom. Lots of the usual suspects. There were reports of a 10+ foot hammerhead hanging out here from the Buddy Dive staff and many other divers. We never saw it but we did see some recent photos of it. Easy entry to a sandy beach with a small mound of coral rubble to slowly walk over.

02/19/2005 Shelly Fischer (Avg: 4.01 Review) - A super easy entry and exit. We dove it about 5 times during our week long vacation in Bonaire. We dove 3 times during the day and twice during night dives. We saw many many moray eels and tons of macro critters. This site was really convenient because we only had to walk about 1 block with our gear on from our rental unit. A very nice site even though it is kind of in the harbor.

05/27/2003 Jeff McMahan (Avg: 4.07 Review) - Located on the South side of the jetty leading into Plaza Resort harbor. Parking area available, but it's a 150'+ hike to the beach. Closest beach entry has some rocky ledges close to shore, tricky footing. Snorkel out across an open sand channel. Some isolated coral heads in this area. Sand bottom eventually slopes down to 120' or more. Top of the wall starts at 25' and 100' offshore on your left as you descend, and follows contour of the sand channel. Macro heaven, lots of corals and sponges, small fish along the wall. Located two frogfish close together on some sponges, great photos. Swimming into a slight current as you go out, but can drift on the way back in. Coral heads in the sand slope above the wall are a good place for a deco stop. Visibility lower due to the current.
